I have seen countless blogs written here on Steemit, where the author didn't cite sources, and/or didn't cite them correctly. By not citing correctly, you are essentially stealing from the original author, and ruining your credibility in the process.

Thank you for taking the time to read this blog.
Don't forget to reinvest in yourself
Personally, I recommend never powering down more than 25% of total rewards earned, in order to continue growing.
Happy Steeming!
